• We have an open campus; most universities in the UK have an open campus concept. So the departments are spread across the entire town of St Andrews. 
• We have most facilities like student advice and services,  library, sports facilities, and medical services, student union cafe, art theatre. 
• There a lot events which keep on going, here there are events for Indian festivals as well, for example diwali. 
• Here we have clubs for most sports where you can get trained and form groups. The cultural events are conducted by the student union and are held on tuesdays and fridays but most events are based on western music and pub culture. 

• In my first year, I opted to stay at university accommodation, and in my second year, I moved to private accommodation. Here, I am living as a lodger. 
• I found my accommodation through online website called spare room. 
• The rent is 500 pounds, and I have access to the kitchen, wifi, hall, attached washroom and shower. 
• Finding accommodation was very straightforward. 
• For future students, speak with your landlord, agree on terms and conditions, and sign a detailed contract. 
• My accommodation is 11 miles, I travel by bus and bus services are quite good and regular. Most of Indian students prefer to stay near by to universities in radius of 10-13 miles. 

• The university is based in a small town with different buildings scattered around. There's a community hospital about a 15-minute walk from Main Street, but it does not have emergency services, ambulances are available and quick and will take you to a nearby town for emergency care.
• There are multiple libraries in St Andrews. The main one is pretty big and makes a good place for studying, but there are also smaller ones that are beautiful.
• The sports centre is great and offers all major sports facilities and also provides different classes such as judo, boxing or dancing, the gym is a bit small and it, being the only one, can get crowded at times.
• Popular events include May dip when on 1st May, all students go for a dip in the North Sea when the sun rises in the morning. There are Scottish ceilidh, multiple fashion show events and a lot of formal balls, too. sports societies also extensively host events. Freshers week at the beginning of the year is also great.

• So, for your first year, you'll be able to get university accommodation in dorms. But after that, you are not guaranteed university accommodation.
• There is an accommodation crisis in St Andrews with the uni hasn't been able to help much. Private rentals are hard to get as there is a lot of competition and the prices are also extremely high. Because of this, some students have to live in nearby towns and commute.
• Best way to get private housing is to contact the agent companies, registering with them early enough in your first year would be best. Approaching seniors who are graduating to ask about housing is also smart. 55rent is a good company that does rentals.

• The college arranged accommodation for some post graduation students outside the town, hence I was in uni accommodation.
• My monthly rent was around ?575 per month. This was for a single room in an apartment with 5 bedrooms, one shared bath, one shared toilet and a shared living cum kitchen area. It was located in the centre of the city and was very convieniently placed near shopping places.
• I did not have to face any challenges as I got approved for uni accommodation.
• For st andrews, it is always better to go for the uni accommodation because external accommodation can be difficult to find and you will also lose out on the full uni experience.
• The accommodation was 45 mins away from the university by bus. Most Indian students stayed in St. Andrews itself.

Everything is well maintained and easily accessible. Number of libraries across town. a special postgrad library in a beautiful 1920s church, events happened literally every week. there are a number of societies from an Indian society to a actual hole digging society.

I lived in an ensuite room and shared my kitchen with 5 other people. The kitchen was very huge and spacious with a tv, separate dining area and big sofas and a table.

Accommodation is unbelievably expensive and limited. Hard to afford for a middle-class student, unless you’re working part-time. Average cost is £550/ month for University accommodation and £500 for private.

I got accepted for my dream course, St. Andrews offers a campus life, instead of city life, it is a stunning town with travel places around, very diverse, closer to home, a lot of extra curricular opportunities
